Columnist F.H. Buckley in a New York Post op-ed has proposed that the draft should be reconstituted in order to combat the sense of entitlement pervasive among Millennials.

But a perspective insistent that the purpose of the military is anything other than the protection of the nation through the use of force is an incipient form of totalitarianism.

In his commentary and in a follow up interview on Fox and Friends, this academic who himself never served day one in the military now pushing this requirement as ideal for everyone else insists that this will resolve the epidemic sense of entitlement pervasive among the nation’s youth and reverse the impact of a decaying system of education.

But will it or merely transfer the problem elsewhere?

For while many to come out of the military are first rate people, others are nearly as obnoxious as the Millennials Buckley apparently has an issue with.

A number increasingly demand preferences or set asides akin to something like affirmative action.

Others nearly threaten violence against you if you dare articulate an opinion at odds with the policy preferences of organized veterans’ rackets.

And if the best among us come out of the military sounding as if they are in need of comprehensive resocialization before obtaining basic civilian employment, is the education available through this otherwise venerable governmental institution as first rate as this professor would lead taxpayers to believe?

A hate bias incident is often defined as incidents that may range from acts of ignorance or indifference, to acts directed to inflict harm. So can you be hauled up on charges if you refuse to donate to the United Negro College Fund and the offended construes that as an act of “indifference”?

In these remakes of Star Trek that attempt to incorporate even more thoroughly the latest postmodern hooey, wonder if there will develop a story arc about a faction within the Federation actually conspiring to be assimilated by the Borg and condemn those opposing this idea as enemies of diversity and proponents of subversive individualism.

Did not really care for the Joker’s origins on Gotham. The evil of this character is best represented through Jerome’s explicit embrace of amoral nihilism rather than his brother Jeremiah in essence being forced into the role through really no choice of his own.

Former FBI Director James Comey compares Trump’s leadership style to that of a mafia crimelord. But if this is not a reference to explicit illegality, what successful business is not run like the mafia? Aren’t some of the practices adhered to by this nefarious organization what has contributed to its vitality and endurance?

Isn’t it less of an outrage for Sean Hannity to avail himself of the services of a lawyer connected to Donald Trump than for the judge overseeing the case connected to this revelation being a close associate of George Soros?

The Starbuck’s barista that called police over two loitering Black men has been released from employment. As such, if the result is going to be losing your job, why should you say something if you see something?

The episode of the 3/29/18 edition of “Standing For The Truth” was titled, “The Next Time We Are Tempted To Complain” in which the media director of Voice Of The Martyrs was interviewed. Do those that suffer for Christ include those allegedly molested by Voice Of The Martyrs' personnel?

Unless their legs have been blown off which would entitle them to a handicapped parking placard anyway, veterans can park in the same spaces as everybody else.

Obama is building a swimming pool at his Washington, DC mansion. Yet this is the president that tossed a fit about Americans eating what we want, heating our homes to 70 degrees, and riding around in SUV's. His supporters are the same ones that have nervous breakdowns if you leave the water running while brushing your teeth.

Sufi propagandist Reza Aslan has warned that the Trump presidency is taking on the trappings of a religious cult. Did he issue similar warnings when Obama was delivering stadium orations surrounded by Grecian columns while preschoolers and worship bands were singing what amounted to hymns in his adoration?

In New York, a man wearing a Make America Great Again hat allegedly pushed another individual onto the subway tracks. Do the acts perpetrated against people wearing Trump paraphenalia merit as much national media attention?

Wonder if Will and Kate’s newest whelp would be denied transport to a Vatican hospital in a last ditch effort to save the child’s life.

If the Simpsons producers are obligated to eliminate Apu because this offends Hindus, does mean that Ned Flanders must be eliminated for mocking Christians, that Ralph Wiggum must be eliminated for ridiculing those with special needs, and that Barney the Drunk should be done away with for making light of alcoholism?

A student accused of a politically incorrect prom invitation is not only being denied the opportunity to attend prom but graduation as well. In light of the carnal debaucheries known to take place after prom given the births that take place nine months later to those in their late teens that we are admonished are really nobody’s business, why isn’t this same degree of latitude being extended to the way in which a young man attempts to woo a maiden into accompanying him to the festivity? Furthermore, if a school can ban from both prom and graduation a youngster that successfully utilized risqué humor to win the affection of the girl he desired, why should we be outraged if a school inflicted similar retribution upon gay or lesbian students? After all, a joke referencing cotton picking is in nothing more but poor taste whereas these other situations veer into issues of actual immorality.

In his assessment of the future of Western civilization, Dennis Prager lamented the mental enfeeblement caused by television. But isn’t this the fault of those such as Prager’s associate and friend Adam Carolla whose claim to fame was “The Man Show” epitomized by women with big bosoms in tiny bikinis jumping on trampolines?

And what if the teen accused of cultural misappropriation for wearing a Chinese-styled dress to prom had been harboring racist thoughts? So long as her bosom and backside are modestly concealed does it really matter? Should the entire Japanese animation industry be accused of cultural misappropriation because the characters are nearly all Caucasian even in the productions too violent and filthy to broadcast on American television?

So if the account of Genesis is to be invoked as part of anti-dating pulpit tirades, isn’t the exegete forced to then argue that the only Biblically proper way to acquire a mate is through DNA replication akin to genetic engineering and cloning?

In a concerning philosophical twist, some viewers are coming away from “Avengers: Infinity War” convinced that deliberate, systematized depopulation overseen by an extraterrestrial with a messiah complex is not really such a bad thing after all. Would they feel the same way if they did not make the cut to be extended the “privilege” of continued existence?

The Huffington Post has published an article titled “Chaplain Ouster Shows What Version Of Christianity Controls The GOP” The article further laments, “There's no room in the party for a Christianity that puts economic justice before conservative social issues.” So do the Democrats hire many religious functionaries that do not adhere to the party line on pervasive infanticide, carnal debauchery, and institutionalized indigency where public assistance is not provided for a brief season but rather is imposed as a multigenerational lifestyle?

Controversy has erupted over the nature and background of the religious functionary to fill the role of the Congressional chaplain. Given that those working on Capitol Hill are professionals well into adulthood, do the American people need to be paying for them to have a chaplain to begin with? Most workplaces operate without an official member of the clergy on staff. If these folks are in need of God or spiritual counsel, why can’t they seek these services on their own time and dime like nearly every other American?

In review of “Avengers: Infinity War”, homeschool activist condemned moviegoers for preferring fantasy spectacles over films depicting realistic mundane topics. Will similar condemnation be brought to bear against fantasy works by authors professing some manner of Christian affiliation such as C.S. Lewis or J.R.R. Tolkien? Swanson lamented that people no longer want to see something based in reality such as “The Sound Of Music” (because, though based on actual events, there is nothing more realistic than singing through the Alps while fleeing from Nazis). If Thanos in the film is primarily a radical environmentalist wanting to eliminate most of the life in the universe, how is this not a philosophically realistic plot given there are actually thinkers holding to similar ideas?

Home school activist Kevin Swanson claimed that Avengers: Infinity War exhibits a bad worldview because half of the population of the universe is wiped out by the end of the film. So does the book of Revelation also exhibit a bad worldview for nearly similar numbers perishing in that particular apocalyptic text? Are Christians to take away from this line of argumentation that in narratives deemed acceptable for consumption by the faithful that villains are not to be depicted doing bad things. If so, hasn’t Swanson contradicted his previous lamentation about films no longer addressing realistic topics?

In hardline Christian condemnation of the Avengers claiming these films advocate pantheism, how come no one ever references the line and scene from the first Avenger movie where Captain America (usually considered the moral compass in the Marvel Universe) pretty much pointed out that these beings despite all of their powers were not gods and pretty much put Loki in his place when the Norse entity demanded the crowd bow before him in worship?

The President that stuffs his face with junkfood and who a number of medical professionals diagnose as borderline obese has decided to continue Obama’s jihad against fat sedentary youth has appointed a number of celebrities such as Dr. Oz and Herschel Walker to the Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition. But would a president that was really sincere about “draining the swamp” even have a formal group formulating policy in this manner. There is no provision in the Constitution authorizing extensive intervention in this area. Given how close the nation is to financial collapse, it probably won’t be too long until one will no longer have to worry about kids eating enough to become overweight and nutrition will become a luxury no one will be able to afford to worry about anyway,

If Obama is so outraged by the divisiveness sparked by the numerous sources of information online, why is the propaganda he intends to produce to be available over a streaming service rather than traditional broadcast? So apparently he can provide his “alternative facts” but it is an outrage for Alex Jones to do so.

The winter 2018 edition of PETA Global is heralding the lawsuit the front group filed that granted intellectual property rights to a macaque that took a selfie with a camera set up by a photographer. Will the next time an ape hurls poo across its enclosure qualify for a government arts grant? The brief write up goes on to celebrate how the photographer was strongarmed into a settlement forcing the surrender of a percentage of the proceeds generated from the image to a number of wildlife charities and how other wildlife photographers are being intimidated into making similar donations. In the future, will you be required to get your dog or cat to sign notarized releases before uploading their images to social media? Too bad PETA is not as concerned about the animals euthanized in its care just so the creatures wouldn’t be forced to endure the indignity of having their basic needs catered to by adoring and dutiful human beings.

Propagandists at Good Morning America warn in an editorial posted on the program’s website “Alabama Senate Race Highlights That New Tribalism Threatens Our Democracy”. The piece observes that a group of Alabama voters have decided that ideology and party are more important than integrity and the common good. But in rejecting Moore now for decades largely over his defense of the Ten Commandments, these media elites are the ones that established the precedent of downplaying the existence of a morality beyond that of the group or “tribe” (as it is termed in a denigrating way in this segment). But aren’t these as dedicated to the so-called “tribe” as the consideration that trumps all others? For example, Barack Obama was elected primarily for being Black. The masses were directed to back Hillary Clinton simply because she was a woman. And no one is supposed to say a peep critical of Black Lives Matter despite the propensity of those in that movement to loot beauty salons for haircare products and burn other businesses to the ground in the name of social justice.

A Harris Poll concludes 84% of Americans hold the opinion “no gun under 21”. Why don’t the same numbers oppose enlistment in the military or enrollment in Select Service below that age threshold?

In a SermonAudio homily, it was correctly warned that many of aspects of life can be pursued with such zeal that we fail in one’s service to God. To bad this admonition was not applied to organized religion as well.

World educators supportive of students skipping class in opposition to the Second Amendment be as supportive if students walked out in favor of Confederate war memorials, the Tea Party movement, or school prayer?
An alleged study indicates that a significant number of women are demanding that a man be at least six feet tall before they would considering dating them. Even when you meet their height requirements, they still aren’t likely to go out with you. And if women demanding a man meet certain physical requirements in order to be worthy of companionship, what is so wrong then with men insisting upon sufficient bosom birth, an exacting hip to waist ratio, or a specific age parameter (with some men preferring younger while other skew older) in order for a woman to be worthy of consideration?

The punishment for the teacher feeding a puppy to a snapping turtle in front of his students ought to be to force him to put his own hand in the snapping turtle’s mouth. If he loses his hand, he should have thought about that before feeding the puppy to the snapping turtle.

Trump’s suggestion of a “Space Force” to handle extraplanetary military operations has allowed for a good laugh across social media. However, the concept is less ridiculous than NASA conferences held were the attendees ponder the question if Jesus died for Klingons not from the standpoint of whether extraterrestrials have souls but rather as way for academics to bash Christians for holding up cultural development and where Levar Burton and Nichelle Nichols were no doubt paid significant honoraria to make a public appearance.

In response to the hordes of students skipping class in opposition to the Second Amendment, Nancy Pelosi said no one's political survival is more important than the survival of the nation's children. Unless, of course, if the child is still in the womb.

The Washington Post is celebrating the lone student at one school that walked out of class in opposition to the Second Amendment. Would this liberal rag defend students that remained in class in support of the inalienable right to bear arms?

A brat demonstrating against the Second Amendment remarked that you should not be allowed to own an "assault rifle" unless you can articulate a reason why. Shouldn't the same apply to cellphones and free birth control?

Nancy Pelosi has decreed that the prototypes of Trump’s proposed Great Wall Of America are too high for civilized society. If the Congressional leader ever watched “Pacific Rim”, she would have probably applauded the interdimensional monsters busting through the barrier to lay waste to what remained of human civilization. But in all seriousness, if high barricades are an offense to democratic values, does she intend to advocate for the removal of the ones surrounding the Capitol? More importantly, does she intend to tear down any fences surrounding her properties or to leave the doors unlocked at night so vagrants can traipse around at their own leisure?

Hispanosupremacist Jorge Ramos says that he is now having the worst time of his life in his 34 years in the United States. He is always free to return to Third World poverty any time that he so desires.

The Syfy drama Krypton is not without potential. However, it is not as enjoyable as Smallville or Supergirl. One has to be really steeped in Superman lore to follow what is going on and the English accents of the actors don't help either. As a family member not as familiar with superheroes and comics confided, this Krypton certainly looks different than the one from the TV shows and movies. Often Superman's home world is depicted as almost heavenly with crystalline architecture of an almost cathedral like appearance. However, this world simply looks rundown. In many versions of the Superman story, Krypton is left to its fate as a result of a scientific establishment too mired in its own procedures to admit to the obvious. Yet this version seems to want to take the narrative in a bit of another direction subtly anti-Christian as the religious elite deny the existence of life beyond their world to the point of persecuting those advocating on behalf of the idea. To emphasize the point, the primary religious leader, the voice of Rao, is depicted in a multi-faced mask reminiscent of an image from church history intended to illustrate the Trinity.

The cover story of the April 2018 issue of Sojourner’s Magazine is titled, “How Evangelicals Became White: For much of American evangelical history spreading the Gospel meant spreading Whiteness”. Does Sojourner’s stop to explain and, even more importantly, lament how the so-called “mainline churches” are probably even “Whiter” than those of the Evangelicals being denigrated in this propaganda? Are Black denominations being condemned for being overwhelmingly Black? Is the Roman Catholic Church ever condemned in the pages of this publication for abetting in the violation of U.S. immigration law?

Revolutions are seldom satisfied accomplishing the initial stated objective. These movements eventually become increasingly strident. Once those with wandering hands or raunchy mouths (as determined by feminists that are not so much in favor of decorum as they hate men) are removed from public life, what is to prevent assorted surveillance technologies from being deployed to eliminate the last remaining vestiges of maleness? For example, close circuit TV could be used to catch those stealing a glance of a jiggly bosom or backside strutting by. Will fit bits be required to catch men that become aroused by an alluring woman in their presence who saying nothing about it but who would be betrayed by an increased pulse or blood pressure rates?

One adolescent orator at the March For Our Lives Rally claimed to speak on behalf of “African American girls whose stories don't lead on the evening news.” In her racialist tirade, did she point out that most Black youths are shot by other Black youths with firearms not acquired or used in a manner approved by the NRA nor by the organization's membership?

A number of dimwitted waifs at the March For Our Lives rally insisted that the Constitution was outdated. So if these rabble rousers had been denied the opportunity to assemble or had their gathering disbanded at the end of police batons, tasers and tear gas, there would have been nothing wrong with that. Because the right to speak and petition for the redress of grievances is just as much part of that Constitution these activists denigrate as the Second Amendment.

Miami officials are considering a plan to allow educators strapped for rent to live at school. And you thought accounts of the sexcapades occurring in the public schools were wild before?

In calling for the repeal of the Second Amendment, does that also include the right to bear arms of the security details of retired Supreme Court Justices as well?

If former Supreme Court Justices are calling for the elimination of the Second Amendment because the constitutional provision is no longer considered socially utilitarian, what is to prevent them from issuing similar pronouncements calling for the elimination of freedom of speech and religion when those particular statutory clauses are deemed similarly subversive to public order?

If Youtube can’t be forced to allow for Conservative speech, why should Christians be compelled to bake gay wedding cakes?

If the census should not be allowed to ask if a respondent is a citizen of the United States, why on the American Community Survey was I required to answer how far I drove to work and how many toilets are in my house?

A Maryland Park and Planning Commission is holding a teen athletic competition advertised as the first annual “Hunger Games”. As a science fiction fan, I found the Hunger Games series of films a compelling and highly plausible dystopia. But it is a DYSTOPIA. That means no rational individual would want to find themselves in that situation. In spoofing the emphasis placed upon the love triangle in the story, Homer Simpson lamented, “When do we get to killing the children?” Will this be the fate of those losing these municipal competitions? For like it or not, that was the point of this fictionalized athletic spectacle as a form of social control and the only way to survive was to kill or be killed. Any bureaucrat employing this name as part of what ought to be a wholesome youth activity either doesn’t understand the point of the narrative or are hoping to manipulate the population to the point where one day such blatantly homicidal bloodsports are accepted without question.

If it is unacceptable for the government to ask who is a citizen, why is it acceptable for government to not only know how much money individuals make but also how much of that money individuals withdrawal from privately owned banks after taxes on those funds have already been paid?

For daring to comment on a public online post by gun control fanatic David Hogg, pundit Laura Ingraham has been accused of cyberbullying. But isn’t Hogg even more directly a bully? After all, is he not the one issuing threats and ultimatums if his preferred policy directives or managerial preferences are not implemented?

It was argued on the Berean Baptist Church SermonAudio podcast that, even if a “pew sitter” comes to church 52 out of 52 Sunday’s a year, they are not sufficiently demonstrating the value of the church until they sing in the choir, serve in AWANA, or play an instrument for 52 out of those 52 weeks. Would the pastoral staff be serving the 52 out of 52 weeks if there was no paycheck on the line? If showing up is not is not sufficient demonstration of devotion to Christ, perhaps they’d rather people not show up at all? Furthermore, why would anyone want to hazard the commitment necessary to hold a volunteer position in a congregation that has mentioned in previous publicly available podcasts how criteria to qualify are nowhere detailed in the pages of Sola Scriptura? Furthermore, by definition a church of a finite size only has so many teaching positions available and, given that these are non-compensated, one is under no obligation to pursue them particularly if one is not skilled in or desirous to participate in the open opportunities.

It was said in a Berean Baptist Church SermonAudio podcast that the true believers are those that serve IN the church institutional or organizational. How can one hand down a definitive ruling that those not explicitly serving under ecclesiastical scrutiny are not performing works for Christ beyond an inquisitorial gaze? Furthermore, how is what this pastoral staff is advocating little different than the blatant works righteousness of most strains of Roman Catholicism?

A Sacramento woman with her house on the real estate market is refusing to sell to any Trump supporters. It is claimed that political affiliation is not listed among the protected classifications known for rampaging in the streets and looting local businesses at the rendering of unpopular trial verdicts. As such, this would not constitute a technical act of discrimination. Fine. If this is allowed to stand, all one should need to do to get out of selling a home to minorities is to decline on the grounds that the individuals are likely Obama voters. Christian bakers wanting to avoid entanglements with gay weddings could articulate similar reasons. More importantly, given that most Americans do not necessarily wear their politics on their sleeves, what is to prevent someone from saying that they did not vote for Trump when they really did? It’s not like this inquiry is regarding one’s faith in Christ.

Outrage has erupted over a father/daughter dance canceled at a Staten Island school over the fears of gender inequity. There are two questions that need to be asked. Firstly, is there really a growing number of boys that want to attend a mother/son dance? Somehow the rational individual doubts there is. But perhaps the more important question to ask is if public funds are using to provide the girls with a dance, is there an equal amount being set aside for the basis of providing an extracurricular activity deliberately excluding female pupils? Because if the situation were reversed, you’d never hear the end of it from the shrill nags in the obscene stocking caps.

Former Attorney General Eric Holder insists that Trump’s attacks against the FBI prove that the President is not pro-law enforcement. Applying this same presupposition, couldn’t it as legitimately then be said that those that impugn the character of J. Edgar Hoover and his intelligence gathered that Martin Luther King was hardly the font of Christian and American virtue propagandists make the civil rights activist out to be aren’t pro-law enforcement either?

In his criticism of Thomas Aquinas for statements advocating the liquidation of heretics, will homeschool activist Kevin Swanson separate himself from his Reformed brethren that downplay the execution of Severetus or condemn statements by Rushdoonyians that could be construed as advocating the elimination of the civil rights and protections of those of differing theological persuasions that might find themselves in an idealized Christian Reconstructionist regime?

Technically, Olympic diver Tom Daly, age 23, and his 43 year old male partner are not having a baby together. The ones having the baby are the sow that was contracted with for access to breeding rights and whoever donated his man sauce. And another thing about the age gap of this “couple”. Why is this acceptable for sodomites but considered an outrage when Roy Moore was that much older than the ones he had the hots for that were still over the age of consent and Bill Clinton was somehow a child molestor when schooling Monica on the finer points of tobacco policy.

In stating that those on the terrorism watch list should not be allowed to purchase guns, will those placed on the terrorism watch list be given the reason why they are on the terrorism watch list or be provided with a process to have their names removed when incorrectly placed on this registry that is not ruinous in terms of time and resources?

Do the Fox News pundits calling for increased mental health intervention in regards to gun violence realize that in some circles it is enough to be declared mentally ill if you as a free American prefer Fox News as your default TV news source?

Brent Bozell of the Media Research Center and the Parents Television Council is demanding that the View apologize for insulting the Christian faith of Mike Pence. But isn’t anything these nags might have said technically less offensive than Bozell’s firing of the Parents Television Council’s executive director in 2002 for asking Ted Baehr to lead a pubic prayer asking for Bozell’s speedy recovery following a heart attack?

Bill Gates insists that that he should be paying significantly higher taxes. What he really means is that he thinks the remainder of us should be paying significantly higher taxes as well. Because if he really held to the face value of his articulated proposition as a sincere moral conviction, nothing is preventing him from donating what he believes would be a reasonable percentage of his income and holdings alone to the U.S. treasury.

Viewers praising the idea of Wakanda as a utopia isolated from much of the world in the Black Panther film are the same radicals that condemn President Trump for trying to patch the holes in U.S. border security and immigration enforcement.

NRA members are still responsible for fewer crimes than the average malcontents that show up at Occupy or Black Lives Matter rallies.
To prevent the spread of norovirus, Olympic authorities are asking athletes to avoid shaking hands. Will officials also implore competitors to forgo the fornication and orgies alleged to regularly take place in the Olympic village?

A Yahoo news story and headline boldly proclaims “Revelation About Florida School Officer Blasts Hole In Donald Trump Plan To Arm Teachers”. Given the account is about how the Broward County sheriff’s deputy never even entered the school to perform the sort of duty for which first responders are heralded with all sorts of praise and benefits such as retailer discounts and assorted tax breaks, doesn’t the story actual make the case of what happens when a firearm is not utilized to interdict a homicidal assailant? This pitiable failure to act also serves as an object lesson of how in a moment of crisis that the individual cannot afford to place their trust entirely in law enforcement to save innocent lives.

Anti-Second Amendment fanatic David Hogg is vowing not to return to school until Florida legislators pass gun control. First, why should an elected official give a flip as to whether or not a whiny brat skips class? Second, will Hogg’s parents be threatened with the same regulatory sanctions that would be imposed upon those of a deliberate truant or forced to jump through the same administrative loopholes as a homeschooling family whose progeny are conspicuously absent from the leviathan of organized education? Would the mainstream media celebrate as a youth of conviction someone of the same age refusing to return to class until Roe vs Wade is overturned or the hysteria against Confederate memorials abated?

Dick’s Sporting Goods has declared that the retailer will stop selling “assault style” weapons. Given the number of assaults perpetrated by baseball bats over the years, should access to that particular piece of athletic equipment be curtailed as well? If nothing else, at least this corporation seems to be accurately named.

If Jeff Beezos is such a good liberal with a record of lavishing funds on Democratic causes, shouldn’t he insist upon paying Montgomery County’s exorbitant taxes rather than county officials having to entice him with a variety of incentives that would exempt Amazon from an assortment of the revenue measures penalizing other county residents in order to build the corporation’s new headquarters in the jurisdiction?

At the moment it is still legal for 18 year olds to purchase a variety of weapons liberals succumb to apoplexy over in regards to appearance rather than function. As such, shouldn’t it be considered as much an outrage in the eyes of jurisprudence for Walmart or Dick’s Sporting Goods to deny 18 to 20 year olds access to these devices as it would be for Christian bakers to deny gay couples nuptial baked goods?

President Trump declared, “Take the guns first. Go through due process second.” Had Obama articulated such a sentiment, Republicans and conservatives would be up in arms. As such, will they issue similar warnings about Trump being an aspiring tyrant?

It has been claimed that the Florida school shooter’s biological mother was a drug addict. Will those calling for the prohibition of firearms now join the effort to keep illicit substances criminalized?

In a humorous tweet, President Trump remarked that he was going to give his grandchild a lesson in socialism by seizing a percentage of the youth’s Halloween candy for redistribution to an urchin that didn’t bother to go out. For daring to make such a suggestion, J.K. Rowling pointed out that Trump’s own wealth was not earned but rather inherited. As such, the comparison would be more akin to candy being left to her by her great grandfather. Frankly, what of it? Assuming that her Harry Potter books continue to sell beyond her years, to be consistent, does J.K. Rowling intend to issue a statement that she does not want these proceeds to go to her descendants but that she is willing to accept these funds being seized and squandered by the British government?

Controversy erupted over a Youtube content provider posting video of an individual taking his life in the infamous Japanese suicide forest. So are those outraged over this going to come out and openly admit that Western culture and values derived from the Judeo-Christian worldview are inherently superior? Because, though it may come as a surprise to those thinking that multiculturalism means the whole world uniformly embraces hipster values, suicide in Japan is not necessarily viewed as all that much of a tragedy. Unless the offended are willing to take this philosophical step, what they are saying is, “Remove this video because it upsets ME.” Isn’t it at this point when traditionalists raise similar objections that we are flippantly told not to watch or simply change the channel?

Aren’t the liberals coming unhinged that Donald Trump used an earthy term for digestive excretory effluent the same ones that condemn parents as reactionary and unenlightened when they vocalize objections to similar terms or even worse appearing in the literature upheld by the public school system as worthwhile of consideration and reflection upon?

In condemnation of contemporary Sunday school curriculum that teaches youth life lessons rather than manipulate them into full blown religious fanaticism, the pastoral staff of Berean Baptist Church in a SermonAudio podcast lamented about the adults that won’t get out of the pew to serve in the church. These days, shouldn’t pastors just be glad that someone showed up to be in the pews at all? Furthermore, how do these ministers not know if these people are not serving God outside the church? Furthermore, aren’t these ministers doing what they do on behalf of the church ultimately because the church is paying their salaries? Would they be putting in as much effort into that particular congregation without a paycheck being involved?

Of allegations against Roy Moore, Albert Mohler is quoted as saying, “This is one of those excruciating decision moments for evangelicals. These allegations, if true, are devastating. If true, this is a very big deal.” But isn’t Mohler a leader in the faction of Evangelicalism suggesting that, if a girl is not married by the age of 23, she is an old maid hardly suitable for breeding? Furthermore, while Mohler seems to be distancing himself from a man whose dating preferences might have strayed a bit from the socially acceptable but still within the boundaries of legality, Mohler in another instance at a prominent conference assured C.J. Mahaney (who could actually be accused of at least abetting molestation) that that particular pastor was there among thousands of his closest friends.

Gun control advocates are invoking the Las Vegas mass casualty incident in order to advance their anti-Second Amendment agenda. Will they also call for the abolition of high rise buildings as well since it appears these structures can be utilized as convenient sniper perches? If headlines are to be believed that the shooter was driven mad in part as a result of incurring significant video poker debts, should America reconsider the prudence of legalized gambling?

President Trump’s immigration policies are being cast as the villain in the saga of a 39 year old father being deported after having been living undocumented in the United States since he was nine years old. How about much of the blame being placed on the Obama administration and the court system pussyfooting around for nearly a decade with one repeated stay after another instead of decisively settling this case? Perhaps this example ought to serve as a reminder to all of us that this governing by kicking the can down the road cannot go on forever indefinitely.

Albert Mohler posted an article titled “Moralism Is Not The Gospel But Many Christians Think It Is”. If that is the case, isn’t that more the fault of professional religionists such as himself rather than the mere pewfillers often forced to abide by an extensive list of regulations if they desire to remain in the good graces of those wielding authority? Sometimes these requirements are, at best, merely tangentially related to anything explicitly stated in Scripture or, at worst, the mere opinions of the ecclesiastical staff. If the mere pewfillers are the ones coming off as judgemental about enforcing nitpicky rules, it is often because they have been forced to live under the most stringent requirements their entire lives while they are passed over in terms of position, opportunity, or even attention in favor of newcomers and the like who (though perhaps sincerely Christian) are not held to the same standard as those that have bought into what is being taught from the pulpit that believers must act a certain way and if you don’t you aren’t likely one. Right or not, those told that it’s evil to date and further bashed from the pulpit if they are then not married by the age of 24 are going to raise an eyebrow in resentment if they see the pregnant teen moms fawned over with babyshowers.

In a review of “Thor: Ragnarok”, homeschool activist Kevin Swanson condemned the superhero genre for depicting Germanic gods. One can legitimately point out how these films promote a version of ancient alien hypothesis in that Thor is depicted as an extradimensional entity. But the movies do not really depict Thor as an actual god or that your child is likely to abandon their Christian faith if they happen to enjoy these sorts of costumed adventures. In the first Avengers movie, didn’t Captain America say that there was only one God and that he certainly wasn’t Loki? Even if movies consisted of nothing more than accurate detailed depictions of Bible stories, would those of this sort of hardline mentality accept that or would they find something else to gripe about. Coming to mind particular are fundamentalist objections to “The Passion Of The Christ” and criticism of Roma Downey’s series “AD”.

In his review of “Star Wars” The Last Jedi”, homeschool activist Kevin Swanson lamented that parents should not be surprised if after steadily watching these sorts of films that their children walk away from the church. That is because watching these films is the epistemological equivalent of regularly attending a mosque and then converting to Islam. First, if Swanson wants to remain consistent with his Calvinist soteriology, doesn’t he have to admit that those walking away from the faith as a result of allegedly being exposed to Star Wars were never intended to rank among the predestined to begin with? Second, in his remarks does Swanson intend to criticize those Christian leaders that for decades level condemnation against those believers that would have been drawn towards creative pursuits such as literature and filmmaking?

Isn’t the greater outrage not that a Trump appointee to Americorps articulated blunt remarks over how protected demographics often live their lives at variance with majoritarian preferences but rather that this constitutionally dubious agency continues to exist?

Al Sharpton said the integrity of Evangelicals that support President Trump. But does a “minister” that advanced the lies of Tawana Brawley and stoked the burning of Freddie’s Fashion Mart possess any integrity himself?

President Trump is now being accused of speaking in an Indian accent to imitate the Prime Minister of India. If that is to be condemned, will similar criticisms be leveled against those that spoof the President’s own elocutionary idiosyncrasies such as his oddly shaped lips and sounding hoarse much of the time?’

If all countries are to be viewed as possessing equal quality with no one allowed to admit what these places are really like, aren’t those that vacation in Bermuda, Aruba, or the Bahamas but not Hati even more racist than Donald Trump?

If President Trump does not want his offspring criticized in the media, perhaps he should utilize other minions as his policy advisors and enforcers.

A Washington Post column laments in the title, “Trump Evangelicals Have Lost Their Gag Reflex”. Shouldn’t these establishmentarian elites be the first to celebrate religious conservatives for having advanced their sense of political sophistication to the point that distinction is now made between an elected official’s policy positions and personal moral failings? Didn’t the liberal pundits used to pine how they wished America could be more like France where no one cared how many mistresses a high official might have bedded? If Evangelicals now downplay the importance of private virtue in public life, it is for the most part for having been ridiculed for decades how if they didn’t let go of their outdated morality particularly in regards to sexual ethics, they would forever consign the Republican Party to electoral defeat. For were not influential media outlets the ones that depicted public officials that consistently lived by their professed values such as Ted Cruz, Michele Bachmann, and Rick Santorum as something akin to a Sasquatch with communicable leprosy?

For Afrosupremacisit Propaganda Month, a Vermont school has announced it will fly the Black Lives Matter flag for the month of February. Mind you, these are the same sorts that threaten renewed rounds of looting of hair care product providers and electronics retailers unless every remaining remembrance of the Confederacy is removed from public view.

The growing concern is that social media is potentially harmful to democracy. This perspective is now so pervasive that even the Facebook corporate office concurs. Do the propagandists in in the mainstream engage in the same degree of manufactured outrage when it comes to the dangers posed by centralized hierarchical journalism and media analysis?

If so-called “Indigenous People” cannot celebrate Columbus Day because of the mistreatment received at the hands of European colonizers, why should European-Americans support Indigenous People Day because of the mistreatment innocent settlers experienced at the hands of heathen savages?

President Trump has been accused of an alleged affair with a pornstar. If true, talk about low hanging fruit. It doesn’t say much as to the prowess of your manhood and skills as a lover to bed a woman that will not only sleep with anyone for the right amount of money but also allow the encounter to be videoed.

Celebrity Chef Gordon Ramsay announced that he lost over 50 pounds over fear that his girth would cause him to lose his wife to another man. Frankly, it sounds like she is not worth keeping. Where is the media outrage that would have erupted about fat shaming and positive body image if it was his wife that felt similar pressure to lose weight in order to save her marriage?

In a broadcast commentary transcript, Cal Thomas concluded, “You may not like his behavior. You may not like his personality. But you cannot deny the objective results. This President in his first year in office is bringing about real change that is promoting the general welfare.” So is Thomas now saying that the health of a nation is determined solely in terms of materialistic financial statistics? The promised wall is no more closer to being built, proposals are being suggested for what will essentially amount to yet another amnesty, and (as usual) the State of the Union promises to be a litany of yet additional handout programs that the country can no longer afford. As a self-professed student of Francis Schaffer, one would think Thomas would know better. Does Thomas renounce the inclusion of his name in an edition of National Review published prior to the election suggesting that a Trump presidency would mark the ruination of the Republic?

During the 2018 State of the Union Address, Democrats booed President Trump’s remarks that immigration policy should consider quality individuals or nuclear family units rather than import entire slum villages as results from chain migration. If Joe Kennedy III is stepping forward to spearhead the antithesis of the Trump agenda, perhaps hundreds of migrants can be warehoused on the numerous spacious Kennedy family properties.

Fascinating how liberal agitators demand the remainder of the country refrain from comment when Columbus Day is rebranded as “Indigenous People Day” in urban cesspools of multiculturalism but they have no problem imposing their New York values upon the bastions of the Confederacy when it comes to what memorials will be allowed to remain on public property.

At an event titled “The People’s State Of The Union”, celebrities, activists, and social justice front groups converged to reinforce amongst themselves just how much they despise the idea of others enjoying a standard of living just above that of mere squalor to the point that they are advocating violent Communist upheaval. For if these limousine revolutionaries really gave the proverbial rodent’s rear shank about actual poverty, wouldn’t they have actually instead directed the resources needed to give themselves a gigantic pat on the back to actual poor people?

Did the thought police all jacked out of shape at a racially questionable sweatshirt sold on line ever get around to expressing similar degrees of outrage regarding the knockout game or the looting of businesses over unpopular trial verdicts?

Pope Francis repeatedly lectures the West about defending the oppressed and downtrodden in terms of throwing borders open to swarms of migrants and refugees. Yet in regards to the persecuted in Red China he certainly doesn’t mind turning the proverbial blind eye in terms of forcing two underground bishops to step down and granting Vatican approval to the bishops of the Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association.

A Super Bowl commercial proclaimed the following: "You come with open minds and the instinct that we are equal. Some people may see your differences and be threatened by them. But you are unstoppable. You'll love who you want. You'll demand fair and equal pay. You will not allow where you come from to dictate where you're going. You will be heard, not dismissed. You will be connected, not alone. Change starts now." Does that include Roy Moore loving whom he wanted to love in his younger days? And what of those now advocating bestiality, necrophilia, and these reports of a man fathering a child with his own 20 year old daughter? Will those that disagree with this predetermined agenda be guaranteed the same right to be heard and not dismissed or will that privilege only be granted to those acquiescing to the preferences of nefarious cabalistic elites? For what if the individual approaches the evidence and articulated justifications with this supposedly open mind and he concludes that the change needed is not to the extent advocated by the nihilistic vanguard?

Amusement Park King’s Dominion will no longer be referring to its classic wooden roller coaster as “The Rebel Yell”. Such an allusion to Confederate heritage might unduly trigger the weak minded and sociologically delicate. Instead the attraction will be renamed “Racer 75”. Just how much longer will this stupidity continue? Should the entire park be renamed since “King” refers to not only monarchy but one ruled over by a patriarchal figure without paying due homage to the gynocracy for the atrocities committed in the name of phallocentrism. And shouldn’t the name “Racer 75” also be considered offensive? For does not “Racer” imply a competition based on speed with that quantifiable measurement used to determine such potentially psychologically damaging categorizations such as winter and loser. Lastly, since the 75 is a chronometric recognition of when the ride was built, shouldn’t that also be considered offensive since that measurement is ultimately a relativistic one calculated through tabulation of the temporal interval having elapsed from that moment back to the existence of Christ?
